DEDICATION 


MISS  MARGUERITE  CUSTIS 


It  is  with  respect  and  admiration  that  we  dedicate  this,  the  1954 
Castellan,  to  Miss  Marguerite  Custis.  Her  sincere  interest  in  us  and 
her  helpful  advice,  together  with  her  ready  wit,  make  her  our  friend 
and  one  towhomwe  shall  alwaysbe  indebted.  Her  enthusiasm,  outstand- 
ing abilities  as  an  instructor  and  constant  encouragement  have  created 
in  her  students  the  desire  to  attain  their  highest  goals. 

For  all  this  and  for  your  untiring  efforts  to  work  with  and  for  us,  we 
say,  "Thank  you,  Miss  Custis!"
